REPORT-CASE-DEATH-ABRAR
Report in case over Abrar’s death by Suprobhat Paribahan June 27
DHAKA, May 21, 2019 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today set June 27 to submit
further probe report in the case lodged over death of Bangladesh University
of Professionals (BUP) student Abrar Ahmed Chowdhury by a bus of Suprobhat
Paribahan.
Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Debdas Chandra Adhikari reset the date as
investigation officer (IO) Qazi Shariful Islam failed to submit the report
today.
Abrar was run over by Suprobhat Paribahan bus in Pragati Swarani area on
the morning of March 19, as he was trying to cross the road.
It was learnt later that the same bus earlier on that morning had struck
another pedestrian, leaving her seriously injured and crushed Abrar as it was
trying to flee the scene after the first incident.
Abrar’s father Brigadier General (retd) Arif Ahammed Chowdhury filed a
case against the bus driver, its helper, conductor and owner of the bus with
Gulshan Police Station.
The four accused – bus owner Nani Gopal, driver Sirajul Islam, helper
Ibrahim Hossain and conductor Yasir Arafat – have already been arrested and
gave confessional statements in the case.
The IO on April 30 filed a plea to allow him to submit further probe
report in the case, which was subsequently accepted.
The IO in his petition had said he has submitted two separate charge
sheets on April 25 over the death of Abrar and injury of pedestrian Simthia
Sultana Mukta by the same bus on the same day.
“I have found some more important evidences over the incidents and found
involvement of more people. So for the sake of proper justice, I need to
conduct further investigation,” IO Qazi Shariful Islam said.
